Tim,

I already have linked tables and I am able to login
as well. My question is how can I capture user
credentital.

Example: I login as 'Tina/pwd'

I would like to use the username 'Tina' in my query
how can I use it. Like some packages have
something like $username this will retrieve the
name of the user who is logged on.

Hope this is clear now.

Thanks for your reply!
-Tina

>I used to have Access linked to a SQL server, and it
used ODBC links to get the necessary tables. These ODBC
links were set up from Control Panel/Administrative
Tools/Data Sources. These links used the SQL server's
security when you pull data into Access. But Access only
promted me once when i started using the database, and it
allowed my continuous "access" to the linked data from
that point on, as long as i did not leave Access.
However, the next time I opened this database and wanted
to pull data again, i would log in again.
